Detection of distant metastases and distant second primary cancers in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: comparison of [
Article in Insights into imaging, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis prospective study aimed to compare the diagnostic performance of [
methodsA total of 103 [
resultsDistant metastases and distant second primary cancers were present in 23/103 (22%) examinations in 16/82 (19.5%) patients, and they were more common in the post-treatment group (11/41, 27%) than in the primary HNSCC group (3/38, 8%), p = 0.039. The area under the curve (AUC) per patient/examination/lesion was 0.947 [0.927-1]/0.965 [0.917-1]/0.957 [0.928-0.987] for PET/MRI and 0.975 [0.950-1]/0.968 [0.920-1]/0.944 [0.910-0.979] for PET/CT, respectively (p > 0.05). The diagnostic performance of PET/MRI and PET/CT was similar according to JAFROC (p = 0.919) and ROI-based ROC analysis (p = 0.574). Sensitivity/specificity/accuracy for PET/MRI and PET/CT for a score ≥ 3 was 94%/88%/89% and 94%/91%/91% per patient, 96%/90%/91% and 96%/93%/93% per examination and 95%/85%/90% and 90%/86%/88% per lesion, respectively, p > 0.05.
conclusionsIn HNSCC patients, PET/MRI and PET/CT had a high and similar diagnostic performance for detecting distant metastases and distant second primary cancers.
